415 AI, fought in southern Pytharnia between the imperial legions of Midretasso and rebellious Moigthe Chieftains under the rule of Girhain Witch-King, the Battle of Curchása ended the War of the Witch-Kings between the Moigthe and the Midretassene Empire. The settlement of the war and the elimination of Girhain Witch-King produced much reconciliation and saw the establishment of the joint-rule system in southern Pytharnia where the Moigthe tribes enjoyed great internal autonomy.

Belligerents

Midretassene Commanders: Legate Paikhvont Magbional, Midretassene Engineers Forces: Legionaries, Rhovanite Cavalry Auxiliaries, Kumeimidir (Stone Giant) Auxiliaries, Turgos Centaur Allies, Ithatian Archers, {Necromancer Corps}, Shehabil Sky archer Auxiliaries

Moigthe Commanders: Girhain Witch-King, dwarven prince (advisor) from Dagdoria, Chief Ordainneabh, Moigthe Tribal Princes, Heroes: Kéwbachorn the Magnificent (Medibgösk Sorcerer Prince), Llörgabain Dragon-Friend Forces: Moigthe Warriors, Medibgösk Sorcerers, 17 Dragonrider allies, Halfling Archers, Ithradic Dwarven Mercenaries

Magbional knew he had about two weeks before the Ithradic Mercenaries would arrive from Tauhad and only a week or less before Prince Ordainneabh arrived with relief warriors and Moigthe witches. The Medibgösk sorcerers and their dragon mounts could arrive any time.

The dragon-riding Medibgösk sorcerers were the biggest liability for the Midretassenes. The Shehabil Sky Archers were not sufficient to repel them from attacking Magbional's camp. The necromancer corps developed magic that could summon undead in the sky to engage the dragon-riders. The necromancer corps also worked with native Moigthe Spellcasters in the pay of Midretasso.

Magbional used the Rhovanite Cavalry Auxiliaries to stave off the dwarven relief army of Ithradic Mercenaries. He used the Turgosian Centaur Mercenaries to repel Ordainneabh's relief army to the east.

After the siege broke into the summit of Curchása, the soldiers fought the Moigthe warriors and the warrior priests of Midretasso engaged Girhain Witch-King directly.
